Portugal qualify for Russia World Cup

Portugal has secured its place at next summer's World Cup finals after a 2-0 victory over Switzerland in Lisbon saw the European champions overtake their opponents at the top of their qualifying group.

Switzerland had maximum points going into the decider but they were second best on the night as Portugal finished top of the group on goal difference.

The national football team has now qualified for every major tournament since Euro 96.
